What causes a 'preset data abnormal' error
(Axis Unit display code "a9") ?

Spindle has not been identified in the spindle configuration located in the machine configuration screen.

<Error Description>
The Preset data for fastening is incorrectly set up.

<Check Items>

	Verify that the MACHINE CONFIGURATION / SET SEQUENCE / SET PARAMETER screens match the physical machine configuration.
	Re-enter the data on the MACHINE CONFIGURATION / SET SEQUENCE / SET PARAMETER screens or reload the Preset files from the PRESET FILE UTILITY screen.
	Check the connected Axis Units for indications of abnormality. A locked-up display, an illuminated Abnormal LED, and failure to count down after power on are all possible indicators of a malfunctioning Axis Unit. If all Axis Units appear to be functional, the problem is likely to be found in another System component.
	If all Axis Units appear to be affected, turn off the power. REMOVE the FC386 and MULTI PCBs from the Main Unit, and verify compatibility of software between the two (2) circuit boards. This may be of concern if a board has been previously replaced.
	Verify correct installation of all removable IC chips on both the FC386 and Multi PCBs.
	Reinstall the FC386 and MULTI PCBs. Ensure that the boards are properly seated.
	Ensure that the Main Unit is not located near any strong electrical or magnetic fields.
	Verify the MAIN UNIT input voltage and ensure that the power cable is properly connected.
	Turn on the main power. If problem still exists, replace the MULTI PCB. Refer to Section 8.3 of the manual for more detailed information.
	If problem still exists, replace the FC386 PCB.  Refer to Section 8.3 of the manual for more detailed information.
	If problem still exists, replace the entire Main Unit.  Refer to Section 8.3 of the manual for more detailed information.

If the problem only affects one or some of the spindles (Axis Units), remove an affected Axis Unit PCB and the Main Unit MULTI PCB. Verify compatibility of software between the two (2) Units. This may be of concern if a board or Unit has been replaced.

• Verify correct installation of all removable IC chips on both the Axis Unit and Multi PCB.
• Reinstall the Axis Unit and MULTI PCBs. Ensure that the boards are properly seated.
• Ensure that the Main Unit and Axis Unit(s) are not located near any strong electrical or magnetic fields.
• Verify the Axis Unit input voltage and ensure the power cable is properly connected.
• Turn on the power. If problem still exists, replace the affected AXIS Unit(s).  Refer to Section 8.3 of the manual for more detailed information.
